HTC will launch Android 4.3 update for Sprint’s EVO 4G LTE by the end of this year, President of HTC America Jason Mackenzie announced on Twitter. We don’t have all the details yet, but we do know Sense 5 will come included as part of the deal.
Unfortunately, the exact date is still a mystery but that’s kinda expected since it’s not just up to HTC to decide when will EVO 4G LTE get the update — Sprint on its end wants to be sure that the new software doesn’t mess up the user experience and may decide to test everything out before opening the floodgates.
In any case, we applaud HTC for being open about the device updates and want to see this practice being adopted across the industry.
